The Best and Effective So Far

by
fastattk

As a newly diagnosed Type 2 I was very much concerned and interested in finding just the ideal app that would let me log my data, show me results immediately and something I could share with my Doctor at each visit. I believe I've found it! This app is not only user friendly but let's me visually see my results. I especially like the graphs, the entries are easy to use and I can take a snapshot of my progress anytime. The "topper" was the website and how I can access it from any computer and I can sync it with my IPhone! One drawback that I can not award five stars is that my web entries do not sync to my IPhone but I can sync my IPhone logs to the website no problem. That is confusing and lack of info when I want to share my data with my Doctor via my IPhone. Log data on website does not match log data on IPhone. On the biggest upside to this entire package is that it is all free both the IPhone app and membership to the corresponding site! Free is good and this app is as well. I will be looking for further updates, I really love this app!!

Great helper

Update: 20 Sept. 2014. I have changed my rating from a one to a four as they seem to have finally fixed the issue where the data synching would fail for weeks at a time. For about the past two weeks I have had zero problems with the app. The reason I did not give them a five is that they never answer support requests. They need to understand they are in a customer service field of business, not just an app development business.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Easy to use, yet does everything I need to manage my diabetes. My Doctor likes the printed log available on the associated web site. When I forget to print the log for him, I just handed him my phone, and he can look over the logs very quickly.

Update: the app has developed an ongoing and serious issue. The logs will no longer sync with the online data base. This makes it impossible to print out my logs. There has been zero response to my messages to support. I have found this is a commonly complained about issue on their community forums.Second Update: it has been several months since the last update and the inability to sync data with the server is even worse. I have now gone over two week, trying several times a day, without being able too connect with the server. I have resorted to emailing a copy of the data to myself to provide backup. There continues to be zero response from support. While I have years of data in this data base, I have begun looking for a more reliable app.

Was a great app. Now just ok and no support

Update #2: really disappointed in the support. Have been unable to sync the data between phone and computer. No way to back up data to the server. Has been like this for months. No response from app developer. It has good/easy user interface, but unless can back up and send reports to my doctor it has become worthless. Deleting the app. Update: still like the app but very disappointed that the sync feature between app and server rarely works. Not able to back up the info to the server is an issue if I drop/lose my phone. Also, can't create the reports to send my dr. I hate to say it because I really like everything else, but this a deal breaker for me. Stay away until you see an update. I'm giving the developer a month them I'm jumping ship. ---------[original post] Recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic. This app has helped me determine what foods/meals effect my blood glucose levels. Simple logs. Simple graphs. Only con: unable to change preset ranges on the graph for what my dr. says are my acceptable glucose level range.
